The fight is over.

Bob peacefully went home to be with the Lord last Sunday 17 Nov. 07.

He decided on 5 Nov. not to take the induction treatment for AML. We thought at that point he might have 2 months left.

Thank you for the forum, we learned a lot from all of you. Thank you for your prayers and thoughts.

I am so sorry to hear about Bob's passing. I have been following your posts closely and am deeply saddened by this. Bob felt a hard fight and he is now pain free.
